teradesa.com As the largest volcanic area in East Java province, Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park has an area of 800 square kilometers. This tourism destination is not to be missed, especially for those who are interested in volcanic activity. You can see the smoke and ash coming from Mount Semeru, an active volcano with an altitude of 3,676 meters above sea level.
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park is the only conservation area in Indonesia that has a 10km sea of sand called Tengger, where four new volcanoes are located. These are Gunung Batok (2,470m), Gunung Kursi (2,581m), Gunung Watangan (2,661m) and Gunung Widodaren (2,650m). However, of these mountains, Mount Bromo is the only one that is still active. The temperature at the top of Mount Bromo ranges from 5-18 degrees Celsius. If you head towards the south of the park, you will find a steep plain divided by valleys and decorated with beautiful lakes until you reach the foot of Mount Semeru.
